SCOTTISH film fans are in for a treat this month with the news that Glasgow Film Theatre and Edinburgh Filmhouse are to host a Q&A screening of British film Flying Blind.

Starring Scots actor Kenneth Cranham among a multinational cast including Helen McCrory, French-Algerian Najib Oudghiri and Tristan Gemmell, it's directed by award-winning film-maker Katarzyna Klimkiewicz, whose short film Hanoi-Warsaw won the 2010 European Film Award for Best Short.

Flying Blind focuses on Frankie (McCrory), a successful aerospace engineer designing drones for the military. After meeting Kahil, a French-Algerian student, the pair embark on a passionate affair and for the first time in her life Frankie loses control.

However, her life is turned upside down one morning at work when she’s detained by the security services and told that Kahil may not be quite what he seems.

She finds that she has crossed a line into a nightmare world of suspicion and accusation. Realising how little she knows of this man, Frankie determines to find out the truth, only to discover to her cost that betrayal always comes from those closest to us.

Tickets for the Q&A screenings are available now ahead of the showings which will take place on Saturday, April 27th at 6.10pm (Edinburgh Filmhouse) and Sunday, April 28th at 5pm (Glasgow Film Theatre).
